Phy identifiers on (dual ported) SAS disks are typically 0 and 1. For SATA disks the phy identifier should be 0. # lsscsi [4:0:0:0] disk ATA ST3160812AS D /dev/sda [4:0:1:0] disk SEAGATE ST336754SS 0003 /dev/sdb # lsscsi -t [4:0:0:0] disk sas:0x500605b0000033e6 /dev/sda [4:0:1:0] disk sas:0x5000c500005208ee /dev/sdb # lsscsi -tL 4:0:1:0 [4:0:1:0] disk sas:0x5000c500005208ee /dev/sdb transport=sas initiator_port_protocols=none initiator_response_timeout=10000 I_T_nexus_loss_timeout=1744 phy_identifier=7 ready_led_meaning=1 sas_address=0x5000c500005208ee target_port_protocols=ssp # smp_discover -mb Device <500605b0000033ef>, expander (only connected phys shown): phy 5:T:attached:[500605b00006f260:03 i(SSP+STP+SMP)] 3 Gbps phy 6:T:attached:[500605b0000033e6:00 t(SATA)] 1.5 Gbps phy 7:T:attached:[5000c500005208ee:01 t(SSP)] 3 Gbps The SATA and SAS disks are connected via an expander which lets me look at sysfs for 4:0:1:0 and the expander configuration with smp_discover. The port in use on the SAS disk has the address: 5000c500005208ee . The expander says that cable is attached to phy 1 which agrees with what I can see. However sysfs reports "phy_identifier=7" which is wrong (and happens to be the attached phy_id seen from the SAS disk). Both aic94xx and mptsas drivers do the same thing so it looks like a SAS transport problem. Doug Gilbert
